Rendezvous Rib Rub

1/2 cup salt
1/4 cup ground black pepper
1 TBSP granulated garlic
1 TBSP dried oregano
1 TBSP ground celery seed

1 TBSP chili powder

Chris, do you like the rub? I'm assuming it is suppose to be a like the rub used at the Rendezvous restaurant - or is it the actually recipe?

I have seen this passed around on the net quite a bit. However, if you compare this recipe to an actual container of rub from Rendezvous, it's obvious that this isn't their recipe. I used this as a base and then played around with different spices, and I think I came pretty close, but that's it. I do think that this is a good base for someone to start their own rub with, though

I wouldn't know where to begon. Their ribs, imo, have scant rub flavor.

Try this recipe for the rub. http://www.amazingribs.com/rec...ub_and_BBQ_ribs.html

Rendezvous doesn't put the seasoning on their ribs until right before they serve it. They brush the ribs with vinegar then sprinkle the seasoning on the ribs. I really like it and bought some when I was there. I tried putting it on before cooking, it had a nasty taste to me.

@Greg C. Do they use white or apple cider vinegar?

Now understand this is just MY opinion. In 2007 I went to Memphis In May. Friday night went to the Rendezvous. Ordered the half-slab. They were almost inedible. Terrible! I can't believe how much business this place does while serving lousy BBQ.
